Today, I had a mild epileptic seizure. My mom's immediate reaction was not to comfort me or call for help, but to freak out over the fact that I'd spilled my glass of milk over the floor. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I wanted to pretend to have a seizure so my baby sister could know when to call 911. When I fell down and started to pretend, she decided to drink my soda instead of helping me. FML
Today, I had a seizure at work. My boss walked by and saw me, but didn't help or do anything because he thought I was "picking something up off the floor." FML
Today, my dad had a seizure just after taking his anti-seizure medicine and having been seizure-free for two and a half months. Did I mention I was pooping while my poor dad was having this? I ran out with my pants around my ankles, due to my stepmom flipping out, screaming at me to find the phone (which she found). FML
Today, I was making pudding and accidentally spilt some on the floor. I had no idea until I slipped in it, throwing the bowl of pudding on my head. My mom promised to take me to the hospital as soon as she got a picture. FML
Today, I was in the kitchen with my mom, who is severely disabled and can barely walk. She suddenly slipped on a puddle of water, so I instinctively grappled her from behind to save her. It took me a moment to realize my hands were accidentally cupping her breasts. She then slipped again and took both of us down. FML
Today, my mom was in the kitchen when her shirt caught on fire. Acting quickly, I poured my glass of water on her. Instead of thanking me, she yelled at me for making a mess. FML
Today, I fell in the shower and knocked myself out. When I came to I turned off the water and called my mom. She seemed more worried about the amount of water I "wasted" than she was about me. FML
Today, I had a seizure while at the airport, ready to go on vacation with my family. We ended up missing our flight. My mom spent most of the ride home making cracks about how I'm always ruining things with my "dramatics". Sorry that I have epilepsy, mom. FML
Today, I received a phone call at work about an emergency, and that I had to come home immediately. I arrived to find that no one had been hurt and the house hadn't burned down. The "emergency" was my mom had ran out of milk and cigarettes. FML
Today, after waking up, I went into the kitchen and took a swig of milk from the carton. I overestimated my strength, and the whole thing splashed all over my face. A few moments later, my dad staggered in, looked at me in disgust, and said, "You know what? I don't even wanna know." FML

Whenever I read an FML like this I always have a hard time imagining a parent not treating their children well but I know that many people do and that's an awful thing. Clearly I've been blessed having the parents that I do!

She obviously wouldn't let you get away with that sorry excuse. It's always the same. First, it causes spilt milk. Then, it's making you sell drugs on the street corner. Will it ever end?

Well in this case it's "don't freak out over spilled milk".

some people are just not compassionate enough to be parents. OP's mother appears to be one of them.

It could be that op's mom is OCD. No matter how extreme the situation, if something falls out of line for an OCD person that is all they can focus on

Epilepsy is rough. Luckily I have supportive parents, unlike OP's mother.

I had a grand-mal seizure and ended up in the hospital. Very scary... I hope you're okay op! Go to a doctor if you have another one. I have epilepsy and have to take pills the rest of my life :(

I have epilepsy myself, and it's not the worst thing ever because you just black out and then fall asleep afterwards....it's just if you're unlucky and it could last a long time and could possibly kill you...then it's the worst thing ever

I had 2 grand mals and stopped breathing. my mom's first thought? that it was a hell of a way for my little sister to get her own room. i thought it was hilarious. op,get better and don't worry, nobody knows what their reaction will be to that kind of thing. chances are you'll laugh about it later.

I've heard grand mal seizures are so rough and traumatic... Sorry to hear all your experiences:( I don't have epilepsy, nor do I know what happened but I just have to take pills until an EEG shows I'm healthy again.

It's not always apparent that it's a seizure, people. "Mild" in this case could mean just a quick spasm which caused the OP to drop the glass. If the OP's seizures are far and few between its understandable that the mother didn't immediately realize what happened. However if the OP often has seizures of any degree, shame on the mother for being a stupid bitch. Her child is epileptic, it's really not that hard to forget.

The mom should still realize it is a seizure even if they are "far and few" her child is epileptic and she should be prepared 24/7

@dog Unless she wasn't paying attention an it didn't last very long

Epilepsy is a serious medical condition that does so much more than give you the occasional seizure. It can effect your speech, your reading and your writing. OPs mom is a cold hearted bitch that shouldn't be allowed a child.
